Yellow-orange or yellowish-orange

Hi. Are they the same?

1. He has a yellow-orange shirt.
2. He has a yellowish-orange shirt.
3. He has an amber shirt.

Also, if he has a yellow shirt with the capital letters "A" and "B" imprinted on the front, can we say he has a yellow-orange shirt or a yellowish-orange shirt? Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't understand the "capital letters A and B" part of your question. What does that have to do with the color of the shirt?

For color names, see a color wheel: http://www.montessoriforeveryone.com/Color-Wheel-Chart-Masters-_p_10.html

I am sorry. I should have indicated that the capital letters "A" and "B" on the front of the shirt is in orange. From that, can we say he has a yellow-orange or a yellowish-orange shirt? Thank you again in advance f

I'd consider 'a yellow and orange shirt', meaning that part of it is orange and part of it is yellow.
